Welcome to the weekly post of the RackN blog recap of all things SRE. If you have any ideas for this recap or would like to include content please contact us at info@rackn.com or tweet Rob (@zehicle) or RackN (@rackngo)

The book Site Reliability Engineering helps readers understand how some Googlers think: It contains the ideas of more than 125 authors. The four editors, Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, Jennifer Petoff, and Niall Richard Murphy, managed to weave all of the different perspectives into a unified work that conveys a coherent approach to managing distributed production systems.

Site Reliability Engineering delivers 34 chapters—totaling more than 500 printed pages from O’Reilly Media—that encompass the principles and practices that keep Google’s production systems working. The entire book is available online at https://landing.google.com/sre/book.html, along with links to other talks, interviews, publications, and events.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Rob Hirschfeld and Greg Althaus are preparing for a series of upcoming events where they are speaking or just attending. If you are interested in meeting with them at these events please email info@rackn.com.

We’re excited to announce an updated set of Digital Rebar training videos. In response to requests to go beyond the simple Quick Start guide, we created a dedicated training channel and have been producing 15 minute tutorials on a wide range of topics.

In some cases, these videos contain information that has not made it into documentation yet. Our documentation is open source, we’d love to incorporate your notes to help make the experience easier for the next user.

I’m not usually a big fan of launch videos (too much markitecture); however, these turned out to be nice and meaty. The meaty part explains why it looks like I’m about to eat a big sandwich in the last video. yum!
